Ann Wells, BA, Dipl.OM,  LAc., AHG
Practicing and Integrating Medicine Since 1982


Oriental Medicine is a comprehensive system of health care with its own views of pathogenesis, its own methods of diagnosis, and its own modalities of treatment. Within this practice, it is essential to collect a comprehensive medical history, and conduct a diagnostic exam using the oriental medicine paradigm. The selection of acupuncture points, herbal prescriptions, and nutritional therapies is based on the results of the diagnostic exam.

The key is in the individualized treatment plan:

what works for one person will not work for the next.

As the patient begins the healing process, a layered recovery is observed, acupuncture point locations are changed and herbal prescriptions reflect the evolving patient process. The doctor of oriental medicine conducts a comprehensive medical history and diagnostic exam, provides nutritional education, herbal prescriptions, acupuncture, acupressure, moxabustion, and qi gong.

 

Ann Wells is the founder of Green Medicine Health clinic and has been in practice since 1982. She integrates Oriental Medicine and Naturopathic approaches with the mainstream medicine community by treating patients for a wide range of conditions and relieving pain for people from many walks of life, including children, adolescents and the elderly. She has incorporated acupuncture, nutritional therapies, functional medicine supplementation, and herbal treatments for the needs and lifestyles of the American patient. Specialty areas include women's health, cancer care, and the treatment of chronic disease.

 

Ann Wells has been practicing and integrating medicine for 28 years, bringing together the best of East and West for all ages. Her passion for her work emphasizes improving quality of life, promotes vital aging, and provides concurrent care for chronic disease and conditions. Ann treats underlying patterns and known causes of disease in ways that are not used by mainstream medicine. Care is accomplished without the side effects found in pharmaceuticals. Since 1982, Ann has successfully integrated Oriental Medicine with Western Medicine and has treated thousands of patients. She continues to study, lecture, and has co-authored important contributions for the western medical community. She promotes the professional development of oriental medicine by striving for high standards of care, has worked on legislation for acupuncture in Minnesota, and she is a strong advocate for integrative work with mainstream medical physicians.
